Garcia, who was married to the late "Purple Rain" singer for four years from 1996-2000, showed off an elaborate inking on her hand while attending a special event held by PETA in honour of Prince earlier this week, reported Female First.

Garcia posed on the red carpet at the animal rights organisation's launch of their re-release of Prince's pro-vegan song "Animal Kingdom", which they are offering as a free download, clutching a puppy with her new inking clearly on display.

She had previously unveiled the design, which features the unpronounceable symbol her former spouse changed his name to from 1993 to 2000 in the centre, in an Instagram video and admitted the tattoo makes her both "smile and cry".

Prince died at his Paisley Park estate in April at the age of 57.
